Cultural Background—Unusual Museums The American Computer Museum was created in the US state of Montana in 1990 by private US citizens (not the government) to collect and display the history of computers. The museum contains examples of radio and computer technology, including the history of radios, phones, computer chips, and old personal computers. Another unusual museum found in the US is the Salt and Pepper Museum. In Paris, France, there is a Sewer Museum(下水道博物馆), which is an actual sewer that runs under the city. In that museum, you can experience, in real time, the inner workings (and smells) of a sewer. In England, there is a Lawnmower Museum(剪草机博物馆), a Witchcraft Museum(巫术博物馆), and a Pencil Museum. Besides this unusual museum, there are many other unusual museums in the world. If you thought the International Museum of Toilets was odd, you might be interested to know that there is also a Toilet Seat Museum in Texas, USA where a retired plumber(水管工) displays his decorated toilet seat covers.
